“Cyberbully,” an ABC Family original movie starring Emily Osment, Kelly Rowan and Kay Panabaker is scheduled to premiere at 7 p.m. July 17 as part of a campaign by ABC Family and Seventeen magazine to bring awareness to the youth issue of digital abuse and bullying.

The “Delete Digital Drama” enterprise will launch this summer on ABC Family and in the August 2011 issue of Seventeen.

“Cyberbully” centers on Taylor Hillridge (Osment), a teen who becomes a victim of online bullying, and the toll it takes on her, as well as her friends and family.

The network will debut a public service announcement during the movie in which Osment will direct viewers to StompoutBullying.org., providing a direct resource for viewers and readers to go to for assistance, if necessary.

For those in need of immediate aid, they can call the Stomp Out Bullying hotline at 855-790-HELP or visit the web site.
